Rezensionen
"This book is ideal for fellows...This is a unique addition to the endocrine literature. The cases are replete with interesting twists and clinical pearls; it is an entertaining read for endocrinologists with the time to enjoy cases and learn from the discussions." -Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal

"Most endocrinologists and probably quite a few non-endocrinologists are going to like this book for the same reason why 'Meet the Professor' sessions are overcrowded: it is endocrinology at its roots...stimulating and entertaining reading." - Diabetologia

"Although Molitch is targeting the practicing endocrinologist, I believe this book would be useful for internists and other physicians who are always looking for interesting cases. Challenging Cases in Endocrinology is a light and easily read book that describes uncommon manifestations of common disorders and common manifestations of uncommon disorders. It reinforces the use of systematic work-up to come to a conclusion and diagnosis without missing any important signs or symptoms. The main strengths of the book are the short case discussions, system-based layout, and a solid literature review at the end of each discussion." -Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism
